CREATING YOUR ACADEMIC PLAN TO GRADUATION
By Maryland law, once you have earned 45 credits of
coursework, all students must have an academ
ic plan that lists
the courses needed to complete your degree for each semester
leading to graduation. Transfer students must have a plan in the
first semester at Towson. You will work with your academic
advisor to create your academic plan. We have created a website
with all the information needed to assist you with the creation of
your academic plan at
http://towson.edu/cbeUHVRXUFHV/advising/DFDGHPLFplan.html.
If needed to reach the 120 credit minimum required for
graduation. The following courses are recommended free

Accelerated Accounting (B.S.) Accounting and Business
Advisory Services (M.S.) Program
Requirements to be a CPA in Maryland (and in all but two of the
other states) include 150 hours of post-secondary education. To
provide a seamless process for students to achieve the 150
hours, Towson University offers an accelerated bachelor’s-
master’s degree program.
Students may apply to the program at the same time that they
apply for admission to the Accounting major. Students then apply
to the Accounting and Business Advisory Services (M.S.)
program in the first term of their senior year, and are admitted to
the graduate program in the second term of their senior year.
Admission to the graduate portion of the accelerated program is
not guaranteed.
For more information, visit the accelerated Accouting and
Business Advisory Services (M.S.) website or contact Dr. Martin
Freedman (mfreedman@towson.edu) for additional information.
